Hi all. I had the lap band surgery in 2011. I lost 60 pounds and have not lost one pound in almost a year. I noticed this month that I'm up 5 pounds! I'm pretty freaked out. I just would like to talk about my general fears etc. Thanks! Megan

Hey Megan!

I'm only about an hour southeast of you in Powhatan. I was banded in 2007, lost 70 lbs, then gained some back after my 2nd son was born. I've kept 40 lbs off, & want to get back on track. Let me know if you're interested in e-mailing back and forth. I don't get up to Charlottesville too often, but having someone close by to encourage me would be great!

Hi!

Thank you so much for your email! I would love to have a supportive email buddy!

Thanks!

Have a great night!

Cool! I'll send you a short one tonight. I'll have more time tomorrow during my husband's knee surgery.

I would love to join the two of you. I am in Mineral, VA. I work in Richmond. I was banded in 2008, lost 70 pounds, gained 30 back after spine surgery and need to lose about 80 pounds at least. I am working at getting back on track and making an appointment with my bariatric surgeon to get my band filled.

I would also like to email some fellow Virginia bandsters. The extra support would be great!

Cool! I'm always in need of extra support. Megan & I are both on My Fitness Pal, so we can connect on there as well. My email address is norm_jen@verizon.net , so when either of y'all get a chance, send me a quick note about yourself. Look forward to hearing from ya!

Ok ladies, how are y'all doing this week? I've been kinda stressed at work, & the scale is showing it. I'm too embarrassed to go back to the nurse practitioner at St. Mary's (Jeannine @ Commonwealth Surgeons), & the nutritionist I was seeing at St. Francis was more interested in selling vitamins. Gotta get back on track and focus! Would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
